In the reality-TV contest, "The Amazing Race", 12 teams of travellers compete against the challenges of a trip around the world.
As the contestants on each season of "The Amazing Race" make their way around the world -- in a match against time, limited budgets, language barriers, the elements, culture shock, and the stresses the trip puts on their relationships with their partners -- Edward Hasbrouck offers weekly commentary on how the show compares with the reality of travel around the world. Since the first season of the show, Edward's columns have been posted on this site the morning after each episode, and e-mailed to subscribers to Edward's free travel newsletter.
Each season, members of the cast have have read Edward's books to prepare for the race, and have been among the subscribers and avid readers of Edward's columns. He's interviewed contestants after their trips, and been consulted by would-be contestants as an expert in the skills travellers need for the show and for real-life, off-camera journeys around the world. Edward's columns have even featured featured exclusive eyewitness photos and descriptions of the race, including activites that were part of the race but were never broadcast.
(Note that the broadcast dates listed above and on the individual season and episode pages are the original broadcast dates on CBS-TV in the USA. Broadcasts in Canada have usually been the same day. Broadcast dates in other countries have lagged, in some cases by a day and in others by several seasons. So if you are in another country, the "new" season and episodes you are watching may have been broadcast months or years earlier in the USA. If you don't want to spoil the surprise, be careful what you read.)

(Note: After covering the first 11 seasons of "The Amazing Race", I took a year-long trip around the world in 2007-2008, much of it in countries where "The Amazing Race" was not broadcast, or was being broadcast several seasons after the original North American broadcasts. My weekly columns on "The Amazing Race" resumed in the fall of 2008 with Season 13.)
